Hanwha Aerospace announced on the 6th that it held the ‘Heroes Academy Camp’ in Geoje and Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, on the 3rd and 4th in partnership with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA) and ChildFund Korea. The program was designed for children of families of fallen or deceased-in-the-line-of-duty military personnel, police officers, and firefighters. A total of 47 students and family members took part.

The camp was held under the theme ‘Those Who Protect the Nation.’ On the first day, participants visited the Historic Park of Geoje POW Camp, where they learned about the history of the Korean War and the people who defended the country. They also reflected on the meaning of peace and community.

On the second day, they visited Hanwha Aerospace’s Changwon 2 Plant. After learning about the company’s defense and aerospace businesses and advanced technologies, they took part in a security experience that included riding in a K21 armored vehicle. They also spoke with current researchers and received career counseling related to the defense industry.

Sin Jeong-won, head of the Social Contribution Partnership Division at ChildFund Korea, said, “I hope this camp gave the scholarship recipients an opportunity to feel proud and discover one another’s potential.” A Hanwha Aerospace representative stated, “We will continue providing support so that scholarship recipients can discover their potential through diverse experiences and grow in a healthy way.”

Hanwha Aerospace began supporting scholarship recipients in June by holding a launch ceremony for the Heroes Academy, along with a ceremony to present donations and scholarship certificates, with ChildFund Korea. The recipients receive scholarships tailored to their individual interests and talents in areas such as academics, sports, the arts, and independent activities. They are also offered growth opportunities, including company tour camps and exchange programs for scholarship recipients.
